Matric pupils at two of Gqeberha's top schools have come under fire after a pair of turkeys had to be rescued from the bottom of an empty school pool on Wednesday.
The incident, which formed part of the “40 days” celebrations by some pupils — which marks out the end of the matric period, before sitting down to write the final exams — is being investigated by the Eastern Cape department of education.
The barbaric incident, involving pupils from Grey High School and Collegiate Girls' High School, were brought to light by animal activist Arnold Slabbert, who was called to Collegiate to remove the turkeys on Wednesday morning.
In an internal letter signed by Grey rector Christian Erasmus and school governing body chair Garth Morris, they described the behaviour of a select number of pupils as “deplorable” and “contrary to the ethos and values of our school”.
“While we do not yet have a full picture of the events, a group of our grade 12 boys and some Collegiate girls entered our campus and proceeded to vandalise it by spreading toilet paper, soap, flour, raw eggs and the like around campus, as well as entering classrooms where they turned desks upside down.
